1.2 GENERAL INTENTION

A. Contractor must completely prepare site for building operations, including demolition and removal of existing structures, and furnish labor and materials and perform work to renovate existing Wards 2 and 2B in Main Building 1 for in-patient medical surgical units. This project converts existing Wards 2 and 2B into a new Unit with single, bariatric and non-bariatric, patient rooms. Project renovates approximately 14,000 square feet. Work is accomplished in multiple phases and requires coordination with occupied operations in spaces alongside, above, and below the project area, to modify and/or install new engineering systems. HVAC systems receive replacement and rebalancing. Electrical branches are separated per NEC and new electrical panels installed. Demolition and renovation require window replacement, patient normal and bariatric rooms, meds rooms, storage, nurse stations, lighting, ceiling, floors, doors and hardware, interior finishes, bedside computers, televisions, nurse call system, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, phasing, commissioning, sustainable design, and other features not described herein, but denoted in drawings and specifications.

The Contractor must furnish all management, supervision, labor, material, equipment, tools, supplies, parts, and related services, in accordance with Statement of Work (SOW), drawings, and specifications to be a complete and working system. Electronic copies of drawings and specifications to this work will be furnished by VA upon Contractor’s written request to the Contracting Officer (CO) or Contracting

Officer’s Representative. Hard copies of SOW, Drawings, and

Specifications are Contractor’s responsibility and expense. Contractor is responsible to verify existing and new dimensions, locations, measurements, and quantities. This project is located on the Main

H. Phasing:

The Medical Center must maintain its operation 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Therefore, any interruption in service must be scheduled and coordinated with the COR to ensure that no lapses in operation occur.

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to develop a work plan and schedule detailing, at a minimum, the procedures to be employed, the equipment and materials to be used, the interim life safety measure to be used during the work, and a schedule defining the duration of the work with milestone subtasks.

To ensure such executions, Contractor must furnish the COR with a schedule of approximate phasing dates on which the Contractor intends to accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. In addition, Contractor must notify the COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof.

Contractor must take all measures and provide all material necessary for protecting existing equipment and property in affected areas of construction against dust and debris, so that equipment and affected areas to be used in the Medical Centers operations will not be hindered. Contractor must permit access to Department of Veterans

Affairs personnel and patients through other construction areas which serve as routes of access to such affected areas and equipment. These routes whether access or egress must be isolated from the construction area by temporary partitions and have walking surfaces, lighting etc.

Provided the contract work is changed by reason of this subparagraph B, the contract will be modified accordingly, under provisions of clause entitled "DIFFERING SITE CONDITIONS" (FAR 52.236-2) and "CHANGES" (FAR

52.243-4 and VAAR 852.236-88).

C. Re-Survey: Thirty days before expected partial or final inspection date, the Contractor and COR together must make a thorough re-survey of the areas of buildings involved. They must furnish a report on conditions then existing, of resilient flooring, doors, windows, walls and other surfaces as compared with conditions of same as noted in first condition survey report:

1. Re-survey report must also list any damage caused by Contractor to such flooring and other surfaces, despite protection measures; and, will form basis for determining extent of repair work required of

Contractor to restore damage caused by Contractor's workmen in executing work of this contract.

D. Protection: Provide the following protective measures:

1. Wherever existing roof surfaces are disturbed they must be protected against water infiltration. In case of leaks, they must be repaired immediately upon discovery.

2. Temporary protection against damage for portions of existing structures and grounds where work is to be done, materials handled and equipment moved and/or relocated.

3. Protection of interior of existing structures at all times, from damage, dust and weather inclemency. Wherever work is performed, floor surfaces that are to remain in place must be adequately

01 00 00 - 11 protected prior to starting work, and this protection must be maintained intact until all work in the area is completed.

1.8 DISPOSAL AND RETENTION

A. Materials and equipment accruing from work removed and from demolition of buildings or structures, or parts thereof, must be disposed of as follows:

1. Reserved items which are to remain property of the Government are identified by attached tags as items to be stored.

Store such items where directed by COR.

2. Items not reserved will become property of the Contractor and be removed by Contractor from Medical Center at Contractor’s expense.

3. Items of portable equipment and furnishings located in rooms and spaces in which work is to be done under this contract must remain the property of the Government. When rooms and spaces are vacated by the Department of Veterans Affairs during the alteration period, such items which are NOT required by drawings and specifications to be either relocated or reused will be removed by the Government in advance of work to avoid interfering with Contractor's operation.

1.9 PROTECTION OF EXISTING VEGETATION, STRUCTURES, EQUIPMENT, UTILITIES, AND

IMPROVEMENTS

The Contractor must preserve and protect all structures, equipment, and vegetation (such as trees, shrubs, and grass) on or adjacent to the work site, which are not to be removed and which do not unreasonably interfere with the work required under this contract. The Contractor must only remove trees when specifically authorized to do so, and must avoid damaging vegetation that will remain in place. If any limbs or branches of trees are broken during contract performance, or by the careless operation of equipment, or by workmen, the Contractor must trim those limbs or branches with a clean cut and paint the cut with a tree-pruning compound as directed by the Contracting Officer or

Contracting Officer’s Representative.
